France 1823A Silver 5 Francs
Offered is a .900AR, Crown-size silver 5fr, minted in Paris, and issued under the reign of King Louis XVIII, KM#711.1. Restoration coinage is somewhat trickier than is to be expected based on mintage figures, largely owing to the iconoclastic campaign undertaken by Louis Philippe so as to legitimize the Bourbon dynasty during his reign. This example retains pleasing detail, but displays some environmental damage on the reverse. A good portrait coin.
